Full Description
The site of a Royal Observer Corps monitoring post. The site is located (with all the surface features intact) on the west side of a farm track, 200 yards west of Gedgrave Road. The site was built as part of an extensive network of posts designed to confirm and report hostile aircraft and nuclear attacks on the United Kingdom. At the time of the Defence of Britain survey (1995-2002) the site was found to remain in a good condition. The site was opened during April 1961 and closed in October 1968.
